[GRASS-user] 7.8.1 on Ubuntu 18.04

GRASS GRASS user

Hello,

after recent update on November 11th my grass installation stopped working. I can get to grass shell without gui, but can't start anything. It alway looks like this:

➜ ~ g.gui wxpython
Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...
Traceback (most recent call last):

from wx import NewIdRef as NewId
ImportError: cannot import name 'NewIdRef'
OnInit returned false, exiting...

I tried reinstalling grass from grass-devel and ubuntugis-unstable PPAs to same result. I also tried compiling from source, with no success so far.

Hope to solve this, as I realy loved working with grass 6.4.x couple years ago.

Cheers,

Pavel

Just an update: generic binary (https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/binary/linux/snapshot/) behaves the same way.

In the meantime, you can edit the file /usr/lib/grass78/gui/wxpython/gui_core/wrap.py file as in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/155/commits/e4fbc0f3ae876bc548dae6c509f507d6b9e536b7

I did and all is working fine :slight_smile:

I discovered recently that the updates are broken (this also affects

After that, please upload the RC version to experimental only.
